  2. 2Pick ten past decisions with known results
  3. 3Load only the evidence from before each one
  4. 4See which tool ranked the winners higher
The full test plan

Take one finished research project and the 15 to 30 ideas it touched. Zentrik has no Dovetail connector yet, so bring the findings in as documents, and make sure Dovetail's CRM revenue sync is on. In each tool, end up with a ranked list, revenue included, that research and product both sign off on. Note how long it takes and whether any roadmap call changes. Plan on a PM, a researcher and someone from RevOps for three weeks. how the import works
